A.
The C1 - Neighborhood Shopping District is designed
to encourage the construction of new shopping facilities and continued
use of land for neighborhood commercial service purposes, to limit
residential, prohibit heavy commercial and industrial use of land,
to prohibit any other use which would substantially interfere with
the development or continuation of the commercial uses and structures
in the district and to discourage any use which, because of its character
and size, would interfere with the use of land in the district as
a shopping and service center for the surrounding residence districts.
B.
This district classification is intended to be applied
to areas largely surrounded by residential classification. Because
the locations of the C1 Districts and the arrangement of the uses
within them are expected to have a close relationship to the overall
plan and the objective of protection to residential districts, it
is deemed that the exercise of planning judgment on location and site
plan is essential.
A.
In this district, the land and structures may be used,
and structures may be erected, altered, enlarged and maintained, for
limited commercial uses listed hereunder (including in each instance
unit group buildings). Each enterprise shall:
(1)

unless otherwise specifically stated.
(2)
Be not objectionable because of odor, smoke, dust,
